Laughing your way to Enlightenment
Aside from encouraging laughter, Giggle On! was created as a way for me to talk about my experience with depression, mental illness and the aftermath of suicide.
Giggle On is dedicated to my laughter loving friends Jim Thompson and Jim Sims both died by suicide. Until we meet again…
Socrates once said, “The comic and the tragic lie inseparable close, like light and shadow.” The Two Jims embodied light and dark, as do we all. With the darkness comes light. With light we Giggle On!
I am not a mental health professional nor do I provide counseling services. I am simply doing my part to raise awareness about issues that touched my life.
